Earning Imagination from your Street

I've just begun my list of how much imagination you earn for everything that is done on your street. It's not much of a list so far, all I know is that someone watering your garden plot gives you nothing while someone harvesting from one of your trees gives you eight.

My hypothesis, based on those two facts, is that you only earn imagination when someone gets something from your street. If this is true then scooping, digging, mining, harvesting and picking herbs and crops should give you imagination, while watering, petting, and tending should not. Fireflies will be a little harder to test and a little weirder.

Also I was out getting some metal last night and I ended up restoring some metal rocks on someone's street. I've noted all of the relevant information about that so that I can compare the process with future restoration projects. Mostly, what I want to know is:

How does the game calculate the total value of a project (how does it know what percent done you are)?

Does the total value of the project determine the imagination rewarded for it?

Is restoring things really worth it now or should we still clear and replace?

About Me

Everything all together makes some sense to me, but it is very hard to communicate that sense by talking about any individual thing. At least I think that to myself. Most of the time I assume that people impart familiar meanings to the words I use and that the real message I wanted to convey is hopelessly lost. It is my fault for choosing prose rather than poetry or direct brain link-ups to explain myself.
